    I say we trade Oladipo and Landale and Jalen for any shooting guard who can hit a open 3 even if that's all he does.

    Jeff Green has made Landale’s struggles much easier to bear. I still holdout hope Landale will improve, but his contract makes him easy to trade if not. I’m at a light 4.

    I like your spirit, but I think we need to replace Landale if we trade him.

    He's awful. He was significantly better last year. Contract trade fodder at this point.

    Not sure what he's good at. Butter fingers?

    I feel like the American version Jack Londale would be a better fit.

    I want Stone to trade Landale and Dipo to the Bulls for Vucevic.

    They're blowing it up anyways. Having Vuc on this team will solify our backup center spot for the next 3 years.

    yeah because the bulls are just dying to give away Vucevic for nothing. 1 whose career is basically over and another scrub who can't even play limited backup minutes without looking horrendous

    He'd laugh at the thought of being a backup

    Landale: Australian for scrub.

    If he had not received a contract from the Rockets 8m/year, he would have signed a contract with Efes, a Euroleague team in Turkey, for 1 million dollars per year.

    That's enough to describe his level. He's not an NBA player.

    Here's the amazing thing about Jock Landale. If, during this past off-season, he lost both of his hands in an Australian farming accident and was left only with stubs, I don't think his play this year would have been any different. He doesn't ever grab the ball. He just waves his limbs near it as it goes by.

    Has nothing to do with Stone, but I find it interesting that fringe NBA players can be good in one place (Phoenix) and totally unplayable in others.......mysteries of this league.

    Jockstrap is still one of the funniest things here.

    Jock Landale in the Playoffs played with so much passion and energy.

    He looks like a shell of himself this year.

    Yeah. I thought it was a good signing and he was going to be a solid backup center for us. Guess I was wrong. I don't know who this dude is, but he's not the guy I watched in last season's playoffs.

    I don't know if backup center is as pressing of a need as people think though. Uncle Jeff has been playing really well and seems to still have a surprising amount left in the tank. There are certain matchups where I'd like to have an Andre Drummond type to put in the game. I think adding a guy like Olynyk could elevate our offense off the bench. But in general, I think our most pressing need is actually a star perimeter player who can just go get a bucket at will.

    Unfortunately that's arguably the most valuable kind of player in the NBA, so... yeah.

    Is Fat Kenny Lofton better than Jock?

    There has to be some G Leaguers that can be signed, 6'10 mobile Centers that can shoot and switch quickly onto Guards and defend them.

    For a contract built for trading - I think he’s playing just fine

    He's trash and I don't see why Boban doesn't get more minutes. I'd rather see him out there than Landale.

    BTW you could really sum all the options for the poll down to 3. "Good player, keep him," "we could do better" and "he's trash, trade him."
